Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for a respiratory disability, to include asbestosis, and remanded claims for diabetes, hypertension, erectile dysfunction, and dental disabilities.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support the current disability requirement for the respiratory disability claim. For the other claims, there was an incomplete duty to assist due to missing service treatment records.
